So the in-laws are selling their 2003 Pontiac Montana...for 8K...which is below blue book since it is loaded and in great shape with 70K miles....

Our 2003 Kia Sedona has survived 3 kids and my wife, but barely...has 65k miles and is in ok shape...bluebooks for 7-8k....has quite a few little things wrong with it.

In-laws said they would give us the family discount for their Pontiac at 6k....but they need money pronto (they're buying a new one)...so we'd have to take a loan to do this...

Think we are going try and sell ours for low (below) bluebook at 7K obo...settling for $6500....

Problem is...I don't think we can sell ours fast enough and I don't really want to get stuck with 2 vans....

Plus, I'm not real confident in American made cars...(sorry louise)....

Opinions...

Uummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A vehicle with 65,000 miles shouldn't be worn out. We run most of our cars to 125,000.

Wow...our car has 185K and is still running strong...

People still drive vans? :whistle:

Hmmmm....

I Like ponitacs...


That's all I had to say.....

Where's claybro when I need him?

Clay? Wouldn't it be better to talk to a mechanic rather than a car salesman? :lol:

true....true....

Actually I found talking to car salesmen to be a good idea... If they try to get you in it it's prolly something that will break down a lot and need to come back to the dealership for pricey fixes that are not covered by warranty... if they keep steering (no pun intended) you away from a particular model, they usually aren't disposable....

The longer a car lasts the less a dealer tries to get you in it they want something that will make you come back in x time

Ahh..but take this into consideration:

American cars aren't so long lasting....

yeah...People who haven't restricted themselve to the average 1.3 children pretty much have to have a van... :P

457,000 miles

189,000 miles

384,000 miles

oh.. excuse me.. I was jes countin the miles on my cars an trucks at the house that I could think of off the top of my head.... course.. then.. here's my truck I'm in right now... 661,000 miles... but yeah.. String, your right, flat out, categorily.. american s**t jes doesn't last that long......................................


Personnaly Sqaut, I haven't responded because in my opinion your probly not really gainin anythin, I mean you'd jes be swapin what you have for what you already have. I know you said yours currently has some lil problems, define those lil problems, if it's jes a lil wear an tear on the inside, you can bet the next one will git the same treatment, there are kids involved! lol they do that sorta thin.
